Toward a Separation from Her Husband.
Philadelphia Press.

Hughes Hallett in this city. who were in posi-
ton to know, had stated that the reason Mrs.
Hughes Hallett had taken steps toward pro-
curing n separation from her husband, who re-
Gently brought reproach upon her n anne, was
that by reason of an unfortunate ante-nuptal
agreement she would be rendered penniless and
entirely dependent upon his liberaity if she
moved in that direction. 1t said that at
the time of her marriage Miss Schaumberg was
induced to settle all her property upon her hus-
band. It was also said Mrs. Hughes Hallett
was keenly disappointed over the will of her
aunt, Miss Emily Page, who died recently, be-
cause all her aunts properly had been left to
Colonel Hughes Hallett instead of to herself, so
that practically to-day she was poverty stricken

OBITUAR !.
WESLEY PRESCOTT.


 Mir Wesley Prescott, aged 70 years, months and II days, died suddenly of rheumatism of the heart, at his residence in this town, on Wednesday, July 20.
 As one after one of our friends and neighbors passes out of sight into the Great Beyond, 1t is beftting for us to call pause for it is momentous thing to have lived and momentous thing not to live any more heTe. It Is we'll to ask how our neighbor lived, what he accom- plished ? For as ardent as we may be in the pursuits of the world the ques- tion at last is not so intense and appro- priate-Is he wealthy :? or of high sta- tion ? as, Was he an honest man, the noblest work of God ? We do not claim that our townsman illustrated the highest ideal of living but the world would be quite a different one should all live as we'll as he.
 A few facts and incidents in his long life, now closed, will be of interest to many. Wesley Prescott had just reach ed what has been termed the limit of human life. He was seventy years old last January. He was born in New Marlboro, now Clayton, Mass. He was married to the companion who now mourns his loss, forty-fve years ago, thus far on towards his golden wedding He was the father of five children, 8 happy and loving family grew up around him, and was blessing to him in the midst of the infrmities with which he was visited.
 His father was deeply religious first methodist and then Quaker. He was one of that little band of Friends who worshipped in the meeting house near the school house at Canaan Valley, which was removed some time ago but the remains of the old burying ground may still be seen.
 MT Prescott has been 8 prominent man in the history of the town. He has filled with faithfulness to his trusts and honor to himself, nearly, if not quite, all the offices of the town. He was elected twice to the legislature of the state. His reputation for sound judgment is seen in the fact that for over thirty years he was Justice of the peace, and the fact that he never had decision reversed by higher court is testimony both to his honesty and his sound common sense. Perhaps had he been 8 lawyer with knowledge of the technicalities of legal practice, he might have had many decisions reversed, showing that common sense, many times, has more legal lore in it and may give more just decisions than one may who has 8 wide knowledge of legal literature acidlom common sense. Give us more of this downright, robust common sense, found among farmers and laboring men, who scorn to take advantage of technicallty to cover a fraud. Our friend had something of this kind of common sense.
 He made no pretentions to outward culturc-he was no dude farmer, the pitiable weakness of some, but at the same time he was gentleman, kind, pleasant, obliging, not wanting in kind words and kind deeds-the real essence of gentleman-a loving husband, a kind and indulgent father. sympathis- ing neighbor, an ever constant friend. He will be remembered with affection by all who knew him.
